Dear Teachers,

The Hellenic American Union (HAU) has been conducting open and fair language
examinations since 1957 as part of its broader institutional mission to promote the
teaching and learning of English as a Foreign Language. In pursuing this mission,
the HAU also supports research in language learning, testing and assessment, and
publishes examination preparation materials.

Preparation materials are produced for the following examinations:

 
The Examination for the Certificate of Proficiency in English (ECPE)
 
The Advanced Level Certificate in English (ALCE™)
 
The Examination for the Certificate of Competency in English (ECCE)
 
The Basic Communication Certificate in English (BCCE™)
 
Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC®)

The materials include both exam practice test books as well as books that target the
development of specific skills.

Great care is taken to ensure that our publications are up-to-date, relevant and on-
level. Exam-preparation material is produced in strict accordance with specifications
provided by the official testing bodies (University of Michigan, Educational Testing
Services, and Hellenic American University). Our practice test books are written by
professional test developers with experience in writing test items for major international
examining bodies, while the exam-skills series are written by professional writers
with years of classroom teaching experience.

We also provide free support materials such as English-Greek glossaries, sample

tests and other support materials. These are available to teachers and school
owners on the Hellenic American Union ORFEAS portal (http://orfeas.hau.gr). To
obtain an access code for this material, please contact the HAU Examinations and
Certifications Division.

In addition to its exam-preparation publications, the HAU also offers on-going

academic support to teachers. Such support can take the form of free training
workshops or school visits conducted by members of our academic support team.
Our editorial staff is in constant contact with teachers, students and school owners at
ELT book exhibitions, seminars, school visits, and conferences. This direct contact
with teachers and students provides us with valuable feedback that we use to ensure
that our publications meet the needs of teachers and candidates alike.

Best regards,
HAU Publications Department
